Global warming. For the last few years it has become a very much talked about and hotly debated
topic. Is it real or is it just so much hogwash generated by uninformed scare tacticians trying to
suppress free enterprise? Changing weather patterns around the globe seem to indicate that the earth
may in fact be in the midst of a global warming cycle. Scientific data shows that the earth's
temperature is gradually rising and climate changes are being seen in areas all around the world as
a result. We are already seeing moderate rising of sea levels. Storms are becoming more severe.
Areas which don't normally receive much precipitation are documenting higher than normal rainfall.
Areas which would normally experience good rainfall levels are receiving less and less. The ozone
layer over the south pole is being depleted allowing more radiation from the sun to enter earth's
atmosphere helping to raise global temperatures, causing the arctic and antarctic ice caps to melt
to levels not known of in thousands and thousands of years. Glaciers in various locations around the
world once thought to be semi permanent are melting off and receding at alarming rates.
The implications to mankind are enormous and potentially devastating. One half to two thirds of
the worlds population live in coastal or low lying areas which could be totally eliminated by rising
sea levels brought about by the melting of earth's polar ice caps. Society as we know it could be
totally devastated. Major coastal cities totally wiped out or at the very least made partly or
completely uninhabitable. Agriculture severely crippled. World commerce severely disrupted. And the
more the earth's temperature rises the faster the effect is amplified. Scientists are predicting
that global temperatures could rise by ten to twenty degrees and sea levels rise as much as twenty
feet or more by the middle of this century due to accelerated global warming.
Quite a scary scenario for our future and our coming generations future. But what is causing this
phenomena? Is it all part of some sort of natural cycle of the earth or is it somehow being caused
or at least intensified by the way we live and use and abuse the resources of our planet? It is very
possible that it is part of a normal cycle of climate changes that the earth has experienced since
it was created. The earth has gone through numerous climate changes including ice ages and periods
of tropic and Sub-tropic forestation since it was created and started to evolve. But it is also
quite possible that this warming cycle is being amplified by human interaction with the atmosphere
which protects the earth. Interaction in the form of fossil fuels which emit carbon dioxide and
other pollutants into the air which help trap greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Industrial air
pollution and pollution from the cars we drive are very possibly the main culprits in the effects we
are seeing and experiencing with our atmosphere. Since the beginning of the twentieth century and
the birth of the industrial age, pollution levels in our atmosphere have been steadily rising and as
more of the world becomes industrialized the problem only gets worse as long as that
industrialization relies on fossil fuels.
What can we as individuals do to help stem this rise in the pollution of our atmosphere and the
possible contribution to global warming caused by the use of fossil fuels as our principal means of
running our societies? First we can demand that our governments work on developing more earth
friendly forms of energy. Wind, solar, geothermal, and other forms of energy which don't emit
harmful toxins into the atmosphere. Second, we can make changes in our personal lives which will
help reduce the amount of pollution we as individuals create.
The largest culprit among us is the cars we drive. Cars which use fuels which are improperly
formulated to burn properly because oil companies formulate their fuels to only burn efficiently
enough to actually allow our cars to operate, so that they can make as much money as they can off of
their products without regard to the consequences to our planet. Slowly alternative fuels and fuel
alternatives are being developed. Ethanol, Natural gas, hydrogen, biodeisel along with electric and
solar powered vehicles. Hybrid cars which combine part time electric drives with conventional gas
powered engines. These are all potential solutions to the pollution problems caused by our
automobiles. Yet their full potential remains years away from full commercial development. However
there are ways to actually make our present cars run better by improving the fuel mixture so it
burns more completely thus eliminating the vast majority of pollution caused by the unburned fuel
emitted as unburned hydrocarbon pollution. This can, thanks to committed independent inventors be
easily and economically accomplished by incorporating hydroxy gas systems into our present cars.
Hydroxy gas systems break down H2O into a burnable gas which when combined with the gasoline/air
mixture creates a much better and cleaner burning fuel mixture which will eliminate almost all of
the pollution emitted by our cars, but also increase the car's gas milage substantially because
these systems cause the gasoline to be almost completely burned up in the engine the way it should
be if it was properly formulated to begin with by the oil companies. These systems can be purchased
pre built for a few hundred dollars or with proper plans can be easily constructed from readily
obtainable materials for under a hundred dollars. There are numerous people and commercial entities
who try to dispel and suppress this information either because they are too disbelieving that these
systems can actually work or more importantly are the commercial entities who realize that these
systems do in fact work and if people implemented this technology into their cars that these
entities profits would be drastically affected.
It is ultimately up to each one of us to change the way we do things and do what we can to help
reverse the damage which we as a race of people have done to the health of the planet which sustains
us and all living things on this planet. Whether though real shortage of oil supplies or due to
market speculation, if something like the cost of gas rising to five or ten dollars a gallon forces
us to make those changes then ultimately that is a good thing regardless of how much it forces us to
change our lifestyles or the short term hardships it might impose on us compared to the effect of
killing the only atmosphere we have.
